James Esus

Many thanks to Billy this morning and a massive thanks to Graham and KarenG (and Jane for organising us :-)) in the Freshers Fayre today at the Paisley Campus of the University of the West of Scotland and also to Johnathan Cranstoun the President of Sport and wellbeing for having us.
We had a really good response today and hopefully we can build on this going forward E.g by offering a student taster session and there was interest in us providing a turbo session on campus also.
These sessions and the development of the club can only go ahead with the help of you chaps & chapesses so please help support nearer the time when request comes for volunteers for the odd hour of your time.

Best regards,
Sans

Ps and a pic of we was here ...hopefully

We can do both!

Last week was the last week!!!!
 
Anyway don't know if I have mentioned but I won all three points sections last week!?!
 
Has it been done before?? Do I get extra points if I'm the only one?

Team, with my fading memory I need to check who did the SA this year for the Hall of Fame. Don't worry I know who did the DA
 
So for the SA in 2016 I think we have,
 
Gummers
Colin
Robbo
Jan
Alan McB
Alex
Me
Jesus
 
Have I missed anyone
 
Cheers

Well done Joansin!

Missed out some others as taking a 2 year old to the side of the busiest/fastest road in Houston wasn't one of my best ideas!! Was like sheparding a squirrel!

Best bit was Mini-Jesus banging the drum!

Me and the boy will be 300m back from the round about shouting abuse!! (To the ones that deserve it, mainly Billy) Remember to smile and will try and get a couple of snaps!
 
Good luck!
 
Mon the joansin!

Epic evening with a total blast along a wet and wild west ferry. Got mugged by a Froome like power metered Billy Mac in the Clune. Also suspect his blood work would show abnormally high levels of post retirement elation. After Kilmacolm could no longer keep my eyes open due to pain and irritation and had to stop at the road side. I thought it was the wet and grid. It may have been getting a beating from Billy though.
 
Chapeau mate and big congrats on your retirement!!
 
Andy

Good turnout on such a grim night. Got monsoon like between Kilmacolm and BoW.
So Jan, for the spreadsheet
Attendees, Billy, Charlie, Jesus, Robbie, David Catchcart, Andy Gumley, me,
Clune, Jesus, me, Billy!?!?!, there's a story behind this of course, the roleurs took the chance to split it on the Westferry
Intermediate, Jesus, me
Final Jesus, me, Billy
A divine performance from Jesus. His first (and last) sprint wins.

What a glorious night!!!
 
Triple crown, hatrick, boom x3, Toole triple ménage a trois!!
 
A win up the clune, the int sprint and the final sprint all while on a taper 😉
 
Charlie said this was the last chain gang tonight so do I get double for the last one?
 
Jan for points it was Andy, Billy, Charlie, Davy, Paul, Robbie that was out!
 
1,2,3 was Me, Paul and Billy on all three!

Well done to everyone who got my PM earlier requesting that they take it easy tonight and let Ross get all the points as a motivational boost ahead of his ironman challenge
 
Here are the standings
 

 

Chucking stones in Kilbirnie Loch.....

I could get the signs on my way round , give me an excuse for a slow ride

Extra points for those who have paid and collected their water bottles??  You can swing past on your way home, will be in all evening and you will have lights!!
 
Even more points for those with Dance tickets!
 
Enjoy,
 
Jane
